[Ipopt] IPOPT Python API

[dmitrey]

hi all,

(excuse my English)

I see Python API for ipopt is already somehow mentioned in the 
plato.asu.edu page:
http://plato.asu.edu/sub/nlores.html

however, ipopt documentation still informs about MATLAB and Java API only:
https://projects.coin-or.org/Ipopt#Documentation

I want to inform that there is a working Python API made by Eric Xu You and called pyipopt (http://blog.youxu.info/2008/05/10/pyipopt-python-marries-with-ipopt/
) (some users found it being more convenient to use ipopt from openopt, via pyipopt of course). 

Unfortunately, currently this one is available for Linux only, but I guess the makefile is simple enough to be made for other OSes as well:
http://code.google.com/p/pyipopt/source/browse/trunk/makefile

We will be happy would anyone make the solution cross-platform and/or mention our Python APIs in ipopt docpage.

Regards, Dmitrey.
